Tucked away behind a charming cottage garden and enjoying a slightly elevated position on the edge of open countryside, this delightful stone Grade II listed cottage offers character, warmth and an enviable outdoor setting. Available with no chain, the property is an ideal first-time purchase, combining traditional features with comfortable modern living.

The accommodation opens through a welcoming entrance porch into a spacious living room, where exposed stonework, mullioned windows, a beamed ceiling and wooden flooring create an abundance of character. A central gas wood-burner-effect fire provides a cosy focal point, whilst the open-plan staircase rises gently to the first floor.

To the rear, the kitchen enjoys pleasant views over the garden and is fitted with a range of wall and base units, complemented by a beamed ceiling and useful storage cupboard. There is space for a freestanding cooker, and a rear door provides direct access to the outdoor space.

The first floor offers two well-proportioned bedrooms, both retaining attractive beamed ceilings. The principal bedroom enjoys traditional mullioned windows overlooking the front aspect, whilst the second bedroom benefits from a vaulted ceiling and lovely views across the rear garden, enhancing the feeling of space and light. A three-piece bathroom fitted with a panelled bath, wash hand basin and WC completes the accommodation.

Externally, the property truly comes into its own. A lower paved patio provides immediate access from the house, with steps rising to a larger entertaining terrace. Beyond lies an extensive lawned garden, well screened and enjoying a peaceful backdrop, creating a wonderful setting for outdoor dining, relaxation and family enjoyment. (see buyers notes below)
